Just a quick update – it is now the 11th – I was called on the 6th about getting the refurbished TH55 from Sony. Still waiting… >:0[

Hi all! This has been a crazy week! I have been semi offline since Wednesday due to upgrading to the new ethernet version of the Direcway Satellite modem (DW6000). It took two days before I had it working. They had forgotten to activate the modem before sending it to me… DOH! As a result to

I just got a call from Sony Repair. They have no idea what is wrong with my CLIE TH55. Evidently they were not able to repair it, and after all this time they would “like to send me a refurb.” I would have sent mine back for a refund and bought a new one, had

Reviewers Needed! I have a couple goodies that I’m willing to mail out to 2 volunteer reviewers. These reviewers need to be able to write coherently, and must possess a digital camera that can take VERY good macro shots. The first item up for grabs this time around is a replacement battery for 1st and

While I have been waiting (and waiting and waiting!) for my CLIÉ TH55 to return from Sony repair, I have been rediscovering how much fun it is to play games on my Zodiac2. For instance one of my favorite time wasters these days is Zodtris by Vicious Bytes, a Tetris clone made specifically for the

As you may have guessed, we are back form our vacation and we had a wonderful time. Unfortunately, I have come home to chaos: After a couple days home with normal service, my Verizon DSL decided to completely choke. I have email access, but I can’t open web pages to save my life…as a matter

As a person who is constantly daydreaming about technology, I found myself thinking about which gadgets or technology that I couldn’t live without if the situation presented itself. After careful consideration, I have realized that… I wouldn’t shed a tear over the loss of my cellphone, since I don’t use it all that much. I

I think in a past life, I must have been a mountain goat. ;0) We have done more hiking over the last couple of days than I have in ages, and my legs are tired! So far, we have seen: Carlsbad Caverns, The hordes of turkeys that graze the valleys just before you get to

My family and I are off for a week in the 4Corners Area. On the agenda are Carsbad Caverns, the Petrified Forest, White Sands, Mesa Verde, the Grand Canyon and whatever else strikes our fancy. Should be fun… :0)

I have to apologize, but the Sony CLIÉ PEG-TH55 review will not be ready tomorrow as I had previously promised. During my extensive use and testing, I have discovered a serious digitizer problem. Needless to say, I am going to have to send my PDA back to Sony for repair. As you can see in

Wednesday Quickies Well folks, I sold my Toshiba e805 last week and ordered the Sony CLIE TH55, which I received Monday. I have to say that after a 7 month sojourn into the land of Pocket PC, it is very nice to be back with Palm OS. Even though I’m going to miss the Toshiba’s

A huge “thank-you” goes out to Matt Penning for sending me the Lost in Translation DVD and The Angel Maker, a book by one of my favorite authors, Ridley Pearson. Matt enclosed the following notes with his selections…with the book: “Judie – I admit I’m cheap. I added this to get the free shipping!” Hey
